Patients of an NHS trust investigated by the BBC are still treated in unsafe wards, say inspectors.
An NHS mental health trust investigated in an undercover BBC report on patient abuse has been downgraded from "requires improvement" to "inadequate".
Jan Ditheridge, the trust's recently appointed interim chief executive, said she was "very sorry", particularly to "service users and carers". The CQC reviewed the trust's leadership and services from January to March, before conducting unannounced follow-up inspections in April of wards for older people with mental health needs.
She said there were "areas of concern we'd highlighted at the last inspection" that had not improved.
